The Sonic Runway And Waterfront Walk

Last night I went for a walk down to Pier 8 in Hamilton Ont. My plan was to do some steel wool and light painting but that quickly changed when I got there!

The first thing I saw was the Sonic Runway, an art installation described as:

"The Sonic Runway is a corridor of concentric arches, each with 554 addressable LEDs, that visualizes the speed of sound.

Live audio input is analyzed and converted into a variety of intricate patterns that race down the corridor at the speed of sound (about 343 m/sec).

Standing at the front of the Runway, you can see the beats of the music rippling away from you. As you walk down the length, no matter where you are, the sound and the light are in sync. Looking back from the far end, you can see the sound coming at you, hearing the beat just as the pattern reaches you."

After checking that out, I looked at the scenery and decided to just shoot that.

No light painting or steel wool, but still an amazing and unexpected walk!
